What is the meaning of the name Rajni ?

The baby name Rajni is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈrɑːdʒniː/ — RAJ-nee.

Rajni is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rajni is an Indian given name from Sanskrit rajanī (Devanagari: रजनी), meaning “night.” The word appears widely in classical poetry to evoke moonlight, serenity, and the hush of evening, associations that carry into the name’s imagery. Rajni is used across Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, and other South Asian languages, predominantly for girls, though it can be unisex in some regions. It is unrelated to Rani (“queen”), despite phonetic similarity.

As a personal name, Rajni gained steady modern usage across India and the diaspora in the 20th century, drawing on its lyrical, nature-inspired meaning. Common variants include Rajani (the closest transliteration of rajanī), Rajini (especially in South India), and Rajnee; short forms like Raji also occur. Related compounds such as Rajanigandha (“fragrance of the night,” the tuberose) highlight the name’s nocturnal grace and poetic cultural resonance.
